    Google Announces A Patent Purchase Promotion

    They provide nearly everything for free, so long as you don't mind some advertizing that exists anyway. You can pay a reasonable fee for upgraded service and special privileges. They are certainly spying on you, but they make it fairly transparent and give you opt-out methods for the most...

    When Video Game Trolling Is A Good Thing

    yea that was meant to go along with the post; not at the post... the positive of trolling, if nothing else, is to teach someone, who doesn't know any better, a valuable real life lesson, that you should not rely on the kindness of humanity for your own happiness; you will forever be unhappy...

    When Video Game Trolling Is A Good Thing

    how sad and puny your existence must be if the internet upsets you so much.The guy is enjoying himself on the internet; good on him. If you are not enjoying yourself on the internet, its very easy to exit the internet, or go anywhere else on the internet. The world is what you make it.

    Home Exchange 2007 server port 25 blocked

    *some* ISPs will not delegate a reverse PTR to a residential address, but not all. Its up to the individual ISP. The original statement was that you cannot/should not *ever* run a mail server from a residential IP, but that isnt true; its just up to your particular ISP, whether or not they...

    Firewalls, Servers, and Ports?

    lol yes its called onboarding just about any new client with <200 users. Is there an existing domain? if yes, then DNS should be on the Domain Controler. The DC will need 53 TCP/UDP open. Is there a local email server? port 25 to the mail server is needed Is it Exchange on premises...

    Home Exchange 2007 server port 25 blocked

    This. As long as your ISP makes it possible to use port 25, all public IP addresses are otherwise equal to any other. Being inside a 'residential' block of IPs does not get you an auto-blacklist... only if your server or network is misbehaving or misconfigured, which is your own...

    Fortinet vs Watchguard WiFi

    Watchguard's more advanced firewall features require you to be intimately familiar with them. This problem just sounds like lack of familiarity... you just have to make your own proxy policy set for your own particular traffic needs. Yes, its more work than less, and if you have never done it...

    Bing Will Predict the Entire NCAA Tournament Bracket

    If they wanted to do something actually impressive, they would predict the bracket in private, encrypt it, distribute it publicly, and then after the game was played in real life, they would distribute the encryption keys so that we could determine how close the prediction was. Distributing...

    The British Army Is Allegedly Training a Group of 'Facebook Warriors'

    Without Drugs, What's The Point of Bitcoin?

    yea, it seems that no one in here actually knows how bitcoin works.... Yes, each transaction in the block chain is unique and readily and permanently traceable; which is by design. You have to have some proof that the coin I sent you is an actual bitcoin, and not just a number I made up...

    No More Man-Eating Snakes, Fake Sharks on the Discovery Channel

    what?! you mean to say that didnt learn anything from watching a 450LB, 70-IQ hillbilly feed her 5 year old child 10,000 calories a day and enter her in beauty pageants? oh I'm sorry, I thought this was Amurica...

    IT Workers Of The World Unite!

    Its faux news.... If they had their wish, all non whites would be in jail, the DoD would have 95% of the US budget, we would build a 50 foot high fence around the entire country and then all the whites could play baseball and eat apple pie, just like in their dreams. meanwhile, the rest of the...

    Comcast Sued For Turning Home Wi-Fi Routers Into Public Hotspots

    This is actually causing real world problems at some of my clients... Comcast is claiming that they cannot disable the wifi built in, and our spectrum is already so congested that adding 4 more beacons (one public, one private, in each 2.4 and 5ghz spctrum) at the location caused other WiFi...

    Airbus Patents A VR Helmet

    ...this guy and his clickbait. wired too, but thats hardly an excuse. learn the difference between any random company filing for a patent and someone actually patenting something. Only one of those things is actually important, and this isnt it.

    DARPA Uses Preteen Gamers to Beta Test Military Software

    Come on Domo- a FUDzilla article on the front page, and now ridiculously inflammatory titles...? They were not "testing military software on children"; they were testing novel STEM learning software on children, the findings of which could potentially be applied to teaching soldiers in the...

    U.S. Should Buy All Security Exploits, Then Disclose Them

    This is just the NSA, seeing all these hackers buying exploits with money that isnt their own, saying "we have more of other peoples money than you do... we can do it better"

    The FBI Uses Malware To Combat Online Anonymity

    ...except, if someone wanted to do exactly as those researchers just did; crawl all .onion addresses to make a darknet map... Seems like a project any compsci student could think of for a project, or do it for fun anyway. but, it makes prosecution easier if you just claim that no one could...

    20 Toughest Interview Questions Heard At Apple, Google and Twitter

    No, that is the fallacy. A brain which has been previously been exposed to that specific type of question would recognize the answer in seconds. It is still possible to, both, have a "well developed" (?) brain, and not understand the answer to any specific abstract question. You are assuming...

    First Trailer for Atari E.T. Dig Movie Released

    If the movie is longer than that 3 minute trailer, that would be much too long. Its a whole movie about digging up trash at a dump... I can think of way cooler shit you might find in a dump than a bunch of unusable game cartridges from a terrible game that no one ever played.

    Should WoW Thieves Be Sent To Real Prisons?

    "who steal online items in video games with a real-world monetary value" Its usually against the ToS to sell in-game items, so doesnt that mean it would legally have no real-world monetary value, because the owner, Blizzard, says it legally doesnt in their service agreement (except on the...

    Copyright Education Needed in Every School

    Wall Street Wants Government Help Combating Cyber Attacks

    But what if the police actively sabotage the design of Master locks, cameras, and other security mechanisms to be less secure, in order to make the job of policing easier...? After all, its easier to catch crooks if you have a key that will open any single door in the city, and can do so...

    Stupid Bitcoin Criminals of the Day

    Now there's a mistake- using the US Mail system... that's no longer a regular police or even FBI issue, but a Postal Inspector issue, and the Postal Inspectors office is even worse than the FBI.

    NSA: Our System Too Complex To Stop It From Deleting Data

    Woman Assaults Man For Taking Pictures With A Drone
